Antomus Prime

A renault Laguna 1.6 sport, every brain cell was telling me not to buy it at the time but i was just sick of looking at cars so i though, "that'll do me......."

2 months later i was at the credit union looking for a loan top up to buy a good car!!!!

I predict:
Bank shares
Houses
and an awkward Fine Fail reference will be order of the day on this one

Oh and to answer your question nothing all my purchases have been beyond reproach

Saila

Horse porn

DIY Vasectomy Kit

thought id save a few yoyos

Sticky_Fingers

A £250 (sterling) katana one month before they decided to ban them because some scummer went on a rampage with an ornamental sword. It's now considered a deadly weapon but I'll be damned if I am going to hand it in, it's a beauty.

Yep, have to agree.

Have had 5 of them! Each one just as "good" as the last.

Its 5th time round is a charm with sky cos they eventually caved in and gave us one of the new ones! :P

s-cogan

a duck call. no intention of ever using it, but fcuk me it seemed like a good idea at the time.

mgbgt1978

I bought a Swatch "The Beep". This was a mini-call pager built into a swatch watch. £89 if i remember correctly.

Anyway about 2 months later mobile phones became affordable and it has sat in a drawer since.

And there it is right there ,thats it alright and there is no taste off them :pac:

cormie

Hehe, well I don't think Disneyland would be the best place to get high quality Liquorice Root to be honest :P There can be a very strong/nice taste off higher quality, organic root

easyeason3

Shoes that are impossible to walk in. When I try them on in the shop I know this but I still buy them because I'll 'break them in' at home. The nearest I got to breaking one pair in was falling down the last few steps of the stairs & getting a nice purple bruise for each knee.

However they do look good when lying on a bed wearing nothing but the shoes & a pair of stockings so I suppose it's not all bad.

Son Of A Vidic

A very expensive Telescope, which has only been turned on twice in 2 years.:o

kerryman12

anyone of a hundred Lidl/Aldi "special buys"

A wall chaser - never used
night vision scope - used once
small socket set - used once

etc etc.

The worrying thing is I still check the website every Thursday.

Run_to_da_hills

Any tool from Lidl or Aldi.

Minidiscs are one of the best portable recorders a man can have, trust me, I use them a hell of a lot of the time!

A lot of these (not all) fancy new mp3 players generally only record in .mp3/wma format which isnt the best for live recordings....

On Topic :

My Ps3, it generally just sits there, doing absolutely nothing in my room....

Mint Sauce

A mini disk player, really thought that was the future.

MistyCheese

Recently bought a small island. Cost me €9m. Not sure it was worth it tbh.

phasers

A "hovercar"


-turns out it was just a Sunny someone had robbed the wheels off

Kimono-Girl

Worse thing i ever bought that stupid netbook! it was waay too small!

ismiseuisce

I forked out 450 yoyos for annual gym membership to a gym by my house a few years ago and then moved to a different county 5 weeks later.

poisonated

Something you thought was going to be the next big thing? I would say anyone who bought a 3d tv will be writing in this thread in a few years.

The worst thing I bought was a karakoe machine.

Run_to_da_hills

Cars: 1991 Opel Vectra 1.7L Couldn't pull itself out of a wet paper bag. Ended up writing it off.

Motorbikes: 1996 Suzuki GSXR 1100. Couldn't handle for sh*t, glad to see the back of it.

Absurdum

a Russian chick called Aletta

Feeona

A juicer. It has about forty different parts which take an aeon to assemble, and another aeon to wash and dry.
The Man fom Del Monte would've said 'What the f*ck are you doing?'

Worst thing I've bought is my ticket home from the J1. I should have stayed over there instead of coming back to this pile of manure economy.

WallyGUFC

An underwater hairdryer

Duddy

A stepladder. Couldn't find my real one:(

KeithM89_old

An Xbox 360 - broke on me after 4 weeks then 3 times after. Hunk of crap

Snakeblood

I had a CDman. THe fine, laser guided music, the portability of a walkman. Of course, the sound was terrible and you had to stay absolutely still in order to stop it skipping. And the batteries ran out after two minutes. It was useless for jogging.

Which is why I'm so fat.

I'll take it. They're fairly handy.

I bought a Telescope with attachments for taking pics, it's huge,put it together once,couldn't see anything I plan on buying a shed with a roof that opens to put it in. I look at it as an investment for my retirement when I'm nearing 80 rather than a silly purchase. My silly wife disagrees.

I also enjoy excursions to aldi and lidl for their weekly specials. There's nothing I enjoy more than finding a tool in my shed,still in the wrapper,that I'd forgotten about. Of course the purchase of all my tools is vitally important for my retirement, some silly people just don't get that.

I once bought a wheel. 'World's Greatest Invention', apparently.
Not so earth shattering on it's own though...

Abelloid

A radio controlled UFO. Easily identified, but hard to fly. Pile of sh!te.
